pity - sorrow felt for another's suffering or misfortune, sometimes connoting slight comtempt because the object is regarded as weak or inferior.
The last few years seem to have been a race for politicians to express the most sympathy and pity for our service men and women. The poor soliders this, the poor soldiers that. We need better armor for our children - our babies are dying. More benefits for our troops. More medical care for our veterans. Our heroes deserve more, more, and still more. Whose sentiments are these, exactly?

Take a close look
Has anyone actually looked at Hillary's proposals and ideas? I've been tooling around on her campaign site and reading her issues page and am totally amazed at the lunacy. This is supposed to be the smartest woman in the world? I think that every other woman in the world should be offended by that statement. Wait a second, let me clarify that...every other woman in the world should be highly offended by that statement. Anyone with half a brain would read her drivel and immediately see that she's either a moron or pandering to a bunch of morons who buy into her bullshit.
On every one of the issues, she proposes spending more money in order to solve the many "problems"; yet, she intends to make life easier on the middle class. Well, right away we see a dilema: she needs to spend a ton more money to keep all these promises and that means higher taxes. Who, by the way, pays taxes? Answer: the upper and middle classes. We need a balanced budget (from whomever becomes president), not an increase in the deficit. How on earth does she intend to pay for Hillary-Care Mark II? How do we fund a health-care program that mandates health insurance for everyone? Pre-existing conditions? No problem, the insurance agencies won't be allowed to turn you away even though people like me and your next door neighbor have to pay for you. Put the costs of this nightmare on hold for a minute and think about the federal (not even the state gov't) government dictating to private companies what they can and cannot incorporate into their business plan. If this is acceptable to you, maybe you should move to Cuba. It's called SOCIALISM!
